Mending

I have a hard time just sitting without something I’m working on in my hands, so I did a little mending during last night’s writing workshop. I’m new to visible mending, and I like some things about how this came out, and dislike other aspects, but taking my favorite jeans from non-functional to functional again is definitely worth something. And I learned a little in the process, always good. Mostly I learned that I should find my embroidery hoop.
